Thank you for writing this. There is so much going on in the world that we don't know, and don't want to know!

I'm just now reading up on the unionization at OldCastle in Lilesville, NC and it may be withdrawn because it says closed as of yesterday (7/22) on the NLRB at the link below.

Hi Jonah! Love your newsletter. Yes, just echoing Dave below. The truckers are protesting AB5. They're claiming they are being misclassified as *employees*, not misclassified as non-employees. AB5 was a good law in theory, but with massive carve-outs for Uber and Lyft drivers through Prop 22 (which Uber and Lyft poured tons of money into), it's been largely gutted and is now primarily effecting workers, like the protesting truck drivers, who claim they actually do benefit from the independent contractor classification. It's kind of a mess.

I think the port drivers are protesting AB 5? They don't want to be classified as employees.
